Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound ground pork
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 quart peanut oil for frying
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water
2 cups shredded cabbage
2 ounces shredded carrots
8 (7 inch square) egg roll wrappers
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Season pork with ginger and garlic powder and mix thoroughly. Heat mixture in a medium skillet, stirring, until pork is cooked through and no longer pink. Set aside.
  • In another large skillet heat oil to about 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) or medium high heat. While oil is heating, combine flour and water in a bowl until they form a paste. In a separate bowl combine the cabbage, carrots and reserved pork mixture. Mix all together.
  • Lay out one egg roll skin with a corner pointed toward you. Place about a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the cabbage, carrot and pork mixture on egg roll paper and fold corner up over the mixture. Fold left and right corners toward the center and continue to roll. Brush a bit of the flour paste on the final corner to help seal the egg roll.
  • Place egg rolls into heated oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels or rack. Put on serving plate and top with sesame seeds if desired.

1 small red pepper, cut into 1-inch julienne strips
1 cup Napa cabbage, shredded
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

10 shrimps, cooked and minced
1/3 cup lite soy sauce
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 to 2 teaspoons sesame oil
Pinch of red pepper flakes

  • In a wok or skillet, stir-fry the ginger and garlic in 2 tablespoons of oil until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add scallions, carrots, and red pepper and stir-fry over high heat for 2 minutes.
  • In a bowl, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, and sugar. Add the Napa cabbage and broth mixture. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft. Add sesame oil, cool for at least 15 minutes, and strain. Fold in the minced shrimp.
  • Fill and roll the egg roll wrappers, using 1 tablespoon of filling for each roll. Working with 1 wonton wrapper at a time, place the wrapper with one corner of the diamond closest to you. Place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Roll the corner closest to you over the filling. Brush the top corner with water. Fold in the sides of the wonton and continue rolling the egg roll up until it is closed. Press to seal, set aside, and continue with the remaining ingredients.
  • In a skillet set over moderately high heat, heat the remaining oil and saute the egg rolls until golden brown on all sides, using tongs to turn them. Serve when cool enough to eat, with dipping sauce.

IS IT EGG ROLL OR EGGROLL?



Is It Egg Roll or Eggroll? image

This recipe was a long time coming. I have been working on it for about 6 months. With the help of Bratty I was finally able to put it down on paper. It is all about the prep, chop before you start. This is not a whip it up in 10 minutes recipe but it makes enough for several meals. The number of egg rolls or eggrolls you get depends on if you add the bean sprouts. My friends and I get together and make them by the hundreds, of course that required more wine! Feel free to leave out any ingredient you do not like, there are no rules with these. Hope y'all like em.

Time 1h45m

Yield 25 eggrolls

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground pork
1 large onion, chopped
6 tablespoons garlic, minced (at least)
1 -2 teaspoon fresh ginger (no powder please)
3 big carrots (chopped or shredded)
1/2-3/4 head napa cabbage (shredded or chopped,regular will work fine)
1 -2 cup bean sprouts (fresh please, leave them out if you do not like them)
water chestnut (optional)
celery (optional)
cilantro (optional)
hot pepper, chopped (optional)
salt and pepper
25 egg roll wraps or 25 lumpia skins, the thin ones, i get them in the freezer section of my local Asian market

Steps:

  • Brown the meat in a large pan.
  • Add onion, garlic, ginger, carrots and some salt and pepper halfway through.
  • Remove from heat when carrots are tender.
  • Stir in cabbage and bean sprouts, this will help cool the mixture down.
  • Taste it now and see if it needs any more salt, good huh.
  • Drain this mixture VERY WELL, moisture is you enemy in this recipe.
  • I put it in a colander with a plate on top and a weight.
  • It will look like there are more veggies than meat, that is a good thing.
  • Blot it with a paper towel, it does not have to be bone dry, just not puddling and it needs to be cool before rolling.
  • We are almost there, have a glass of wine while you are waiting for it to cool!
  • Stir occasionally in the colander to get the hiding moisture.
  • Lay the wrapper so that one point is towards you.
  • Put about about 3 tablespoons of mixture across the wrapper.
  • Here is where I add a bit of cilantro, green onion, chopped hot pepper.
  • Fold the point that is pointing at you up over the mixture.
  • Now fold the corner on the right over that, now the point on the left and begin to roll till you get to the end.
  • Moisten the last point and finish the roll.
  • Freeze these individually on a cookie sheet covered with plastic wrap than put in freezer bags unless you are eating them right away.
  • To cook them remove to a cookie sheet (do not thaw) and spray them with Pam, Bratty used garlic flavored and said it was good.
  • Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes, turn over and spray again and bake another 10 to 15 minutes.
  • They will not get all brown like fried ones but they will be crispy and delicious.

PORK EGG ROLLS



Pork Egg Rolls image

Plenty of ground pork and veggies make this take-out favorite quicker and tastier than delivery. The egg rolls can be fried or baked; surprisingly, calorie-wise, both are about the same.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
6 cups (48 ounces) vegetable oil
1 Napa cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds), thinly sliced
4 medium carrots, coarsely grated
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound ground pork
6 scallions, thinly sliced
16 egg-roll wrappers (6 to 7 inches square)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Bottled sweet-and-sour sauce and spicy mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add cabbage, carrots, garlic, and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until vegetables are tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Raise heat to high; add pork and soy mixture. Cook, tossing, until pork is no longer pink and liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes; mix in scallions. Transfer mixture to a plate to cool. Lay wrappers flat on a work surface, and assemble egg rolls.
  • In a 5-quart pot, heat remaining oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees. Working in batches of 4, and returning oil to 350 degrees for each batch, fry egg rolls until golden, turning occasionally, about 2 minutes; drain on paper towels. Serve with sweet-and-sour sauce and spicy mustard.
  • To bake, not fry: If you prefer, these egg rolls can be baked. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet; place egg rolls on sheet and brush with cup oil. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Serve with sweet-and-sour sauce and spicy mustard. If baking from frozen, bake about 15 minutes.
  • To freeze: Prepare egg rolls through step 2; freeze in a single layer until firm, at least 2 hours. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag; freeze up to 3 months. To fry from frozen, increase frying time in step 3 by about 3 minutes per batch.
